I am a 30 year old web developer and dad of 2 from Scotland. I don't like the use the word expert, because everything is moving so fast, for example I once read a book learning Ruby on Rails and by the time I finished the book I just about had to start all over again because they brought out a new major version of Rails and so many conventions had changed.

But when it comes to PHP and Wordpress I have to consider myself an expert. I have been developing in PHP for 7 years and am well versed in all the latest advanced methods, I have built many successful API connections, both clients and servers, know all about namesspaces and use PDO for my database connections, all of course using OOP PHP :-).

But of course Wordpress takes away the need for a lot of that stuff, by providing classes and functions we can use to make our lives easier, but none of it is possible without a good grounding in PHP, in fact with a good grounding and knowledge of OOP PHP anything can be made possible in the world of Wordpress.
